Simon Searle et Victoire Lesthevenon

Simon Searle and Victoire Lesthevenon are a design duo who graduated from ENSCI - Les Ateliers with degrees in industrial design and textile design. Their approach is based on local materials and inspiration drawn from each context. Their creations interact with everyday life and those who inhabit them. Each piece is designed to live, to leave its mark and to become more beautiful with time. Thus, their creations are not static, but conceived as entities in constant mutation, where wear and tear becomes a form of ornamentation.

L’Observatoire
Espace de contemplation
The observatory, open to the landscape of the villa Noailles,
blurs the boundaries between interior and exterior, inviting contemplation of the rhythms of the Mediterranean territory.
Rooted in the Var region, the color palette derived from local resources is a living phenomenon, evolving with time and light through the sensitivity of plant-based dyes. Materials and colors thus become sensitive surfaces, capable of recording the passage of time.

The proportions of this indoor cabin are drawn from the geographical and meteorological data of the Var (topography, sunlight, prevailing winds, rainfall) and help anchor the project in its environment. The living area thus becomes a space for mindfulness, where structure, material, and landscape engage in dialogue to offer a porous way of living and observing the outdoors.
